CURRENT MISSION Do what makes sense. ABOUT ME Enigma wrapped in a puzzle? Hmmm, unexpected to say the least. Mother of two, wife of one, grad student, community organizer, stereotype buster, traveler, poet that knows the least about iambic pentameter. Sometimes talk too much, other times not enough. PHILOSOPHY Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong- sometimes it's letting go -and- A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I am new to CS, but as an American in Dakar with no French or Wolof skills to speak of, this is now my connection with people and systems I understand. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE So far great~ I have *hopefully* found a Wolof tutor!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hmmm... been tear gassed and shot at with an M16 in the West Bank.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share info on getting great deals, travelling with kids, bringing kids to work, and anything related to violence against women/ community organizing/ American Muslim community dynamics.
My Interests
